Welcome to the Jackson Chapter

Click here for the West TN SOCM Office contact information

The Jackson chapter is composed of strong, committed individuals working to making Jackson a better community through anti-crime work, community development, and coalition building.

The chapter was extremely successful in fighting for city funds to revitalize East Jackson after a tornado devistated the area in 2003. The city was not dedicating sufficient funds to East Jackson, a traditionally low income African American community. 

The Jackson chapter is SOCM’s newest chapter and the first to locate in West Tennessee. It launched its work in 2008.

One of the chapter’s highlights is its annual event, Save Our Community Day, which brings hundreds of Jackson and Madison County residents together to discover ways in which to improve their community. The event offers music, dance, and other entertainment, as well as a voter registration booth and information about health and human services in Jackson and lots of kids activities. 

Jackson members are active in the Anti-Racism Transformation Team, serve on the board, and contribute to the statewide work of SOCM in numerous ways.
